Description
In the church of Kirkby Stephen (Cumbria) is a stone carved in relief with an image of the Norse god Loki, a horned figure bound in chains. I have read that Anglo-Saxon Christians may have made this carving to demonstrate their dominion over Norse Gods but I'm not sure what the evidential basis of that is.
